A Sea Tragedy.

The story of life on the high seas
which came out at the Thames police
court on Tuesday, was one of the most
dramatic and peculiar that even that Pc
culiar locality has ever produced. The
Malay Sailor Hassin had made himself
impossible on board the little bark Lady
Douglas; he secre:ed the carving knife
and hid himself in the fore-peak, only
uttering from time to time the Delphlc
remark: eff 1 kill one, I die;;" nobody
dared 60 near him. for he wanted to die;
Imprisonment and intimidation were
tried in vain; he possessed himself OF
lucifer matches, and it was feared he
would fire the ship, so at last the Cap.
tain and all the ship crew agreed to kill
him, "as it was too dangerous so they
flooded the fo,cpeak with water to drive
him out, then the carpenter made an en-
brasure, the mate fired through it with
shotgun, a sailor hooked Hassin's clothes
and drew him up on deck, another sailor
blew out his brains with revolver, ana
they tied q weight to his feet and dropped
him overheard. Now they are all being
tried at the Thames police court for muir
der In their defence it should at least
be remembered that in the East it IS the.
practice-and the perfectly wise ana
i,lsti6able one to kill at sight, like
mad dog, any fellow who "runs amuck."

How Blood Oranges are Produced.

Strolling about the neighborhood of the
Quincy market, writes a Boston CORE;
spondent, my attention was attracted by
the sign, "Blood Oranges, $3.50 Box"
which decorated the exterior of an i'm.
porter's shop. I had always supposed
that the blood orange was freak of ma
ture, to be found semi-occasionally Ikea
yellow fre-cracker in pack of Golden
Dragons brand; but this, it seems, was 9
mistake, for the dealer assured me that
the ruddy fruit was distinct variety.
"It is artifcially produced" he said,
"by grating an ordinary orange tree with
the pomegranite. The result is an orange
like any other, so far as flavor is con-:
cerned, but with red juice that is visible
through the skin. 1t brings a slightly
higher price, because it is regarded as 8
curiosity. The people of Sicily culti-
vate it mostly. Yes, there are one or two
kinds of oranges I know of. The pine.
apple orange, which has something OF
the pineapple flavor, is finding its way
into the market.
I had a few sweet lemons in stock
the other day." added the dealer. '"They
are quite rarity. People in this part OF
the world have poor tastes in tropical.
fruit, any way. They will always pay
more for a red banana than for o yellow
one, though the former is considered an
inferior fruit where both are grown. The
lime, too, is far more priced in tropical
countries than the lemon, but northeners
think it is only good for picking"

Paner Car Wheels.

Not only IS travelling by water IN
debted to paper, but travelling by land.
A paper car wheel seems even more con-
tradiction of terms than paper boat, yet
it is generally acknowledged to be better.
safer, and onger-lived than one altogether
of metal. 1t was the invention OF Rlch-
ard N. Allen, locomotive engineer al
tcrward master-mechanic of the Cleve-
land and Toledo Railroad, who took FOR
his aim in life the production OF a better
car wheel than those in use: His first
set of papcr wheels was made at Bran
don, VT, in 1869, and after much scoff-
inc he was graciously permitted the use
of a wood car on the Central Vermont
road. under which they were tested for
six months. The Pullman Palace Car
Company in 1871 gave the first order for
a hundred wheels; ten years after, the
Allen Paper Car Wheel Company, with
great shops at Hudson, N. Y, and Pull
man, ILL.,, produced and sold $4,000 In
single year. One of the set first expert
mented with under "sleeper" is shown

FOur Bears at One Shot.

Mr.. Mcneil, farmer of Randolph
County, carries the palm of being the
most successful bear-hunter in West Vlr+
einia, and the only man who ever killed
four bears at one shot. This feat was ac-
tuallv performed not long ago by Nc Neil,
who tells the story in the following words;
"My two horses-a mare with her colt
and my riding horse were left one morn
ing in my pasture, which lies in narrow
valley between high hills. Early the next
morning the colt came running trantlcal-
ly down the path leading to the house.
knew something had frightened him, and
taking nv double barreled shotgun,
which was loaded with heavy charges of
buckshot, Istarted for the field. Justas
I cot to the fence, about one-third of the
length of the field, I heard fierce growl-
ing and snarling. I pcered through be-
tween the rails. About thirty yards dis
tant, through the rising fog, Isaw what
thought couple of bears rendlng the
old mare to pieces. Taking as good aim
as could at the animals, who were close
together, l fired both barrels right at the
centre of the black mass. After the smoke
had cleared away could only soc slight
movement of the black pile and in few
minutes that ceased. 1 then loaded up
my gun and walked up ready to give them
another dose if necessary. when got
to the spot I found that had not only
killed two full-grown bears, but also
knocked over two cubs about the size of
a wild cat. They were all dead and lay
in pile. That, believe, is the first
time four bears were ever killed by d
hunter at one shot in these mountains. !"

The Telephone of 1865.

"Thcre is nothing new under the sun, "
not even the telephone. Permit me to state
that in the year 1865 there was published
in England book with the title OF Mi
cographia." The author was DR.. Robert
Hooke, a celebrated scientist, mathema-
tician and philosopher, who was born in
the Isle of Wight in 1885, and educated
at Oxford. The work referred to con-
tains various philosophical descriptions
of minute bodies, made by magrltylng
glasses, as indicated in the title, to-
gether with "Obscrvations and Inquiries,
on them. In the preface, the learned
scientist asserts that the lowest whispers,
by certain means (Which he does not
make public may be heard at the dis
tance of furlong; that he knew way
by which it is easy to hear anyone speak

Dogs of COnstantinOple,

A description of Constantinople would
be very incomplete that passed over its
dogs in silence. They are poor creatures,
with reddish hair, pointed ears, thin
hanks, medium sized, and wild, in that
they never attach themselves to man; but
they are, however, gentle and molten
sive. They belong to the wolf-do3 sPe-
cies, and change their color twice year.
Always living outdoors and sleeping
under the open. sky, they receive from
nature, their master, a summer garb and
winter garb. The first consists of a
light coat of hair, which is very thin and
of dirty yellow color; the second is
thick, more silky, and of dark gray
color. While they are shedding their
coats, which occurs in spring and au-
tumn, their hair falls off in matted locks.
This leaves their skin bare in places,
making broad black spots, which are re-
pulsive.
They never 60 into house, and never
allow themselves to be drawn to one by
either caresses or kind words; not even
by tid-bits, which they eat, nevertheless,
with avidity, when thrown to them on
the street. They sleepa good deal, es-
pecially in times of scarcity, which for
them is the normal condition of things.
Lying down all curled up on the side
walks or on the rough pavements, they
do not allow themselves to be disturbed
by threats or noise, or by the crowd; they
get up only when they see toe that is
going to strike them, or a carriage that
IS going to run over their bodies. In
these cases, they move away slowly and
lie down little farther away.
The Turks never injure them, and, lazy
as they are, condescencd to turn to one
side little in order not to disturb them.
The Armenians, Bulgarians and Western.
ers have a good deal of sympathy for
them, never maltreat them, and often
throw them food. The Perotes and
Greeks like to stone them to death, crush
their bodies and STAB them with sharp
sticks. The poor creatures utter cries so
prolonged and dismal that they pierce
ones heart as we'll as ears.
The dogs Of Constantinople and its
outskirts, which form population OF
more than hundred thousand, appear to
divide the streets of the city among them.
selves. The hairy occupants of one
quarter never allow those of another to
enter their domain. When dog driven
by hunger or thirst, attempts to pass the
limits of its street to seek its fortunes
elsewhere, it is repellcd by concert OF
howls, accompanied by good deal OF
biting. All the dogs Of one quarter are
united for the defense of that quarter.
At the first howl announcing an invader,
they all run, and often they let the unfort,
unate alone only after they have killed
it.
The food of rowing dogs, when they
find any, is not, we may believe, either
varied or dainty; it is the waste scraps
from cooking, constituting choice but
rare food for them; it consists especially
of filthy things of all kinds, among
which figures most prominently the ex.
crement of passing horses, camels and
cattle. Cosmopolitan.

The Official and the Bull

There was once very important state
official in California, who thought that
everybody knew him, or ought to know
him. He was one day walking through
field, when bull addressed him in an
undertone and made for him with its
head down and horns in position to
raise him. He was state official, a man
of dignity and political power and
natural pomposity, but he ran. He ran
surprisingly well. He ran even better
than be did for office, and he got to, the
fence first. He clambered over out of
breath and dignity, and found the
owner of the bull calmly contemplating
the operation.
"What do you mean, sir7" asked the
irate official. "What do you mean by
having an infuriated animal like that
roaming over the felds9"
"WeIl, | guess the bull has some right
in the field"
"Right! Right! Do you know who I
am, sir9 Do you know who I ana" The
farmer shook his head. 'I, sir, am

A Wonderful Armless Man.

Recently there died at Potsdam, New
York, wonderful man, says the Augusta
Chronicle. An accident deprived him of
both arms, which were amputated at the
shoulder. He earned a living by using
his feet and his mouth instead OF his
arms. We are told that he owned a
horse, of which he took the entire care,
harnessed it, fastened and unfastened the
buckles with his teeth and drove with
rcins tied around his shoulders. Being
in need of a wagon, he bought wheels
and axles and built box buggy complete
and painted it. He went to the barn one
winter day and built cow stable, saving
the timber with his feet, and with the
hammer in one foot and holding the nail
with the other, he nailed the boards on
as we'll as most men could do with their
hands He dug a well twelve feet deep
on farm in the town and stoned 1t him.
self. He could move away hay by hold
inc the fork under his chin and letting
it rest against his shoulder. lie could
pick up potatoes in the field as fast as
man could dig them. He would dress
himself, get his meals, write his letters,
and in fact do almost anything that any
man with two hands could do. Many
man with all of his physical faculties un-
impaired mourns because he cannot get
along, and yet this armless brother made
himself independent without arms or
hands. He was like the Crimean hero
who, when his lower limbs were shot
away. wrote to the woman he was en-
gagged to marry releasing her: She an
swered: 81 will marry you If you have
enough body remaining to contain your
noble soul.n
